@walterwhite,@vic-the-hun: I just did a little poking around based on your comments, because the whole league ranking thing is a mystery to me, also. Looking at my “League Profile”, it shows that I’m in the Stone league, and my “League Rating” is 284.

It just dawned on me that the League Rating is probably cumulative, based on my overall history of league rankings each week. How exactly that is calculated, I don’t know. I think if we knew the algorithm for determining an individual player’s league rating each week, then it might make more sense.

The other thing that confused me is the progress bar at the bottom of your profile that tells you how close to the threshold you are for the next league. In my case, it shows a range between 200 and 300, with my current progress near 300. I thought that meant how many more points I needed to earn to get to the next league, but now I realize it means that I have to increase my League Rating from the current 284 to something over 300. Kind of obvious now…duh.

If our League Ratings are determined by some sort of cumulative rating, compared with every other player’s cumulative rating, that could explain the unexpected results we’re seeing.

Does that make sense? I’m just guessing here…

I absolutely agree with you @walterwhite that some sort of FAQ or at least some kind of outline of how league ratings are determined would make the Leagues much less confusing, and more people would enjoy them. Personally, I’d like to be able to see a history of my League Rating, with enough information to understand why my current rating is what it is. Maybe for each week it could show my ranking for that week’s tournament, my previous league rating, my new rating, and some kind of indication how I earned the rating change, although I don’t know what that would be.

But I do think one of the key concepts is that your League Rating is influenced by your League Ranking each week, but the Rating is based on more than just that week’s tournament results.

Sorry if this is already obvious to everyone else. Would love to know if any other members have insight into how the League Ratings are determined each week.
